application fled March it, rain. ltciial an. aiaria @tate of New York.have invented certain new and useful Improvements in @anitary Covers forVibrator Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a remcva is cover or sanitarycap for use on the rubber cup orother attachment of a vibrator used formassaging.

7 Another object of this invention is to make these caps in such amanner that they can easily be applied to the attachment and renewedwith every person massaged therewith. to prevent the carrying of diseasegermsfrom one person to another by means of these attachments.

With these and other objects in view this invention presents a new andimproved till hill

the sanitary covers be form of a sanitary cover for vibrators which willbe fully illustrated in the drawing described in the specification andpointed out in the claims at the end thereof. I

' la the drawing% Figure l is a perspective viewof one of the rubbercups used on vibrators with a sanitary cover in process of being appliedthereto the cup and cover being shownv partly in section.

lfig. 2 is a perspective view of the same a rubber cup as it will appearwhen thecover is attached thereto.

3. .is a side-elevation of one of the sanitary covers before it isapplied to the vibrator cup. I

Tig. t is a vertical sectional view of the sanitary cover the sectionbeing taken on the line t"d" of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a bottom lan view of one of ore it is applied to the vibratorcup.

ln the several figures of the drawing like reference numerals indicatelike parts.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 reference nuiineral 1 indicates a rubber cupwhich is used as an attachment with practically all hand vibrators thatare driven by electric motors for the purpose of giving massage. en thisattachment is fastened in place on the vibrators it rates or vibratesthrough a small circle at a high rate of speed.

The cup ll while vibrating is applied to the slrin of the face andelsewhere and the skin is massaged thereby. @uch vibrators are used inbarber-shops and other public places where the same instrument andattachment is used on a large number of customers. Germs may adhere tothe attach inent when it is applied to one customer and they may becarried thereby to another customer and cause infection. To prevent thisa fresh sanitary cover should be used to cover the part of the cup whichis applied to the sh'n of each customer when massaged thereby. The coverused for this purpose is indicated by reference numeral 2 and is shownattached to the rubber cup 1 in lHig. 2 in which position the vibratorcus ready for use.

e cover'2 consists of a small thimble which is made out of thin rubberwith a head 3 formed on the open end thereof and encircling the outercircumference to form a reinforcementthereon.

The cover is applied to the cup by stretching it over the edge thereofinto the position shown in full lines in i. la this position part of thecover 2 18 held above the edge of the cap it which permits the air to beforced out from underneath the cover 2 when the central portion thereofis forced into the inside of the cup from the full line position to thedotted line position as shown in Fig. l.

The rubber sheet is then released on the outside and allowed to adhereclosely to the outer periphery of the cup 1 and prevent air fromreentering into the inside of the cup below the cover 2. The partialvacuum created by the expulsion of the air between the cover it and theinside of the cup 1 will 'malre the cover closely adhere to theattachment and will be held thereon by the atmospheric pressure.

- After a treatment is completed with a cover 2 in place on theattachment, the cover can be removed from the cup and a new one put inits place so that the instrument will be ready for another strictlysanitary treatment.

gin and head 3 of the cover is lifted on one side to allow air to enterbetween the inside of the cup and below the cover. iis destroys thepartial vacuum created by the forcing out of the air below the cover asabove pointed out, and releases the cover from any contact with theinside of the cup so that it can be lifted of therefrom.
